Idol Audition Stunner: Contestant Lets Judges Pick Her Song!
29 Jan
Summary
- Contestant Eva stunned judges by asking them to choose her audition song.
- Kyle Sandilands joked about contestants not having a song as a red flag.
- Sandilands previously denied rumors of leaving his Australian Idol role.
On the upcoming season of Australian Idol, judge Kyle Sandilands was momentarily stunned during an audition. Contestant Eva approached the judges, including Amy Shark and Marcia Hines, without a prepared song and requested they choose one for her performance. Sandilands initially reacted with surprise, stating it's usually a 'red flag' when a contestant doesn't have their own song.
Amy Shark agreed, advising Eva to embrace her own artistic identity. The judges playfully suggested songs, with Sandilands humorously offering 'Whitney Houston' and 'Men at Work, Down Under,' while Marcia Hines suggested 'Tennessee Whiskey.' This season's auditions also follow previous speculation in April 2025 that Sandilands might leave his hosting position after his contract ended.
Sandilands strongly refuted these rumors, calling them false and suggesting the publication should refund its readers. He humorously offered not to sue them this time. A spokesperson confirmed that Sandilands' contract situation was misrepresented and that he was indeed confirmed for another season, with dates already booked.
